I know tipping culture is extreme, but I’ve never seen 100%. I don’t think this is real.

I can’t find the original image, it’s just been reshared dozens of times on Xitter, Threads, Facebook and Reddit, but nobody is adding context or naming and shaming.
So yeah, probably just ragebait.

I’ve never seen 25% until 10 years ago
M137@lemmy.world 1 day ago
What… “I’ve never seen the least of those until a decade ago”. It’s such a weird comment, like if someone said they got their first EV and you reply with “I never had a vehicle at all until 25 years ago.” See how incredibly odd that is? It’s got major “I like turtles” feel, even though it’s on topic.

Especially labelling 30% “soso” and 40% “ok”. Unless they are bussing my tables, they get 0%. Otherwise it’s 15-20.
vincenttwice@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I have seen similar suggestion levels including 100% in Vegas, Seattle, and other large metro areas.
If I saw a 30% option described by the establishment as “soso”, I would strongly consider stepping away “to the bathroom” forever.

This would get an immediate Custom -> 0% from me the moment I see it.

They know there’s soft, weak people like me that find it painful because the guy in front of you can see it. I mean, I’m a good principled person and I’ve still done it, but I felt like trash in the process.
I guess it was just a matter of time before other classes than the bottom one figured out aggressive panhandling.

If you can’t afford living wages for your staff so they’re not dependant on tips, your store shouldn’t be open.
NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Everyone should make a living wage. “Oh, but then the price of my McDonald’s cheeseburger will skyrocket!!” Fucking good. If it’s not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn’t fucking exist.

“Oh, but then the price of my McDonald’s cheeseburger will skyrocket!!” Fucking good
I don’t know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don’t have a tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 day ago
They did away with most of their staff and their prices went up over 100% over the last 5 years or so anyway. It’s corporate greed all the way down.

I wonder how many damn products we use on a daily basis that have been produced with some level of abuse along the production chain. Probably easier to count the ones without abuse, eh.

Paying people a living wage would only increase the price by pennies. This is just another “conservative” taking point without any basis in reality.

What’s pre-tipping? A tip before you’ve even had service?
Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Its what you have to do these days if you want your uber to show up in a reasonable amount of time.
Freefall@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yup. Delivery services (like DoorDash or Domino’s) and the like tend to do it. They also show your tip to the person. You end up getting service based on your tip instead of the other way around.

BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 day ago
Complain all you want, but not tipping is straight up taking money from someone who is getting paid $5 an hour. Complain to ownership, write your congressman and state legislators, but not tipping only punishes someone who is barely scrapping by.
SoJB@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
So, dear reader, notice how whenever defenders of tipping come along, it’s always the same story.
Oh boohoo my poor minimum wage (which is pegged to the same minimum wage as non-tipped workers in states where most people live).
Ever wonder why it’s always about the minimum wage and never about how much money they make?
Any server with 2 brain cells clears $40 an hour in untaxed cash wages every shift.
They never report it on their taxes, and yet they will cry about their poor wittle wage at every opportunity expecting people that make half their salary to tip them 100% for rudely dropping off a plate once and never coming back, making you wait 20 minutes to close a check.
Notice the pattern. Remember how I was right next time.
michaelmrose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Also tipping is for actual table service. If you just hand me some food I’m not tipping you for handing me food.
TheKMAP@lemmynsfw.com 1 day ago
Your opinion is a result of class warfare propaganda, to get working class people arguing with each other. Direct your anger to the employer.
beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Those same people only getting paid 5 an hour have literally fought and complained against any attempts to change the law and bring a proper wage. Why? Because they make more in tips than they would hourly. Whole system is messed up.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m tired of this excuse. These people took the job knowing what the pay rate was, and are demanding the customer pay their salary directly rather than the employer like virtually any other conventional job does. Customers have had it, they’re being told to give employees raises along with rising food costs, even at businesses that don’t do a damn thing for the customer except maybe hand them a to-go box. 20% for that? F no. Grow a spine and demand real pay, people have had it. IDK how I can travel almost any modern place else in the world, pay for a good meal, and only have to leave the approximation of $1 or so for appreciation of the service, but in America I pay for the food and a separate charge for the employee’s “pay”.
viking@infosec.pub 1 day ago
Not tipping is not giving my money away for nothing.
Tipping culture creates unwarranted expectations and removes obligations from employers.
I’ve stopped tipping decades ago and won’t look back.
Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Its unfortunately a catch 22 though because continuing to tip kinda enables it to keep happening if everyone stopped tipping then places would likely have to pay a decent wage in order to get people to work as even if you’re extremely desperate for money its still not really worth it to work for tipped minimum wage with no tips also im not sure if it applies to all places but if your compensation + tips falls below the federal minimim wage the company must pay you the difference if I am not mistaken
michaelmrose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
In WA everyone is paid at least 16 an hour, over 20 in Seattle and in many high COL areas.

Yes. If you can’t afford to leave a decent tip, then don’t get the service.
RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 1 day ago
I don’t think 10-15% has been considered a reasonable tip for “above and beyond” since the 80s. Most will take that as an insult worse than not tipping, funnily enough.
As for pre-tips, they (intentionally?) design the checkout process such that if there’s a pre-tip, there is no post-tip. It’s basically a “don’t spit in my burger” fee.
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Select “Custom” and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you’re not looking.
negativeyoda@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
You really think it’s the owner and not some poor, underpaid schmuck manning the register?
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 18 hours ago
Yeah, it’s definitely the owner’s fault. That doesn’t change the fact that the underpaid schmuck always tries to blame the customer for not leaving a tip.
hOrni@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
30% is “soso” but a 100% is only “Thank You”? In this case the 100% should be “Walk over to the other side of the register so the boss can blow You”.

Maybe the restaurants should pay their employees so customers don’t have to pay them? I know it’s a radical thought.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Honestly it should be both. Restaurants should pay minimum wage at the very least and then customers should be able to tip if they want. I have no issue tipping if the server did a good job. However, I’m not going to tip bad service.
wolfpack86@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I hate to break this to you, but the customer pays in all scenarios.
But, yes, the employer should pay a living wage and include their overhead costs into the price of the goods.
scarabic@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Especially because a lot of people in this thread seem to protest the tipping system by just not tipping. That only hurts the worker, y’all. It isn’t gonna change the system.
zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Back when 15% was considered standard I liked tipping closer to 30%, but as a direct result of the push to try to make 15% seem low I no longer tip more than 15%.
Kyatto@leminal.space 1 day ago
My tipping follows the inverse of how much I am paying for the product. If the product is well priced and the service was good I have been known to tip 100% for excellent service. Now that everything is nearly double the cost of what it used to be I am more inclined to tip 50 cents to a dollar max.
They should be paying exceptionally well for what they are charging, but we know that isn’t the case. I don’t have unlimited wealth to spend either, fuck me for being poor and wanting some comfort “restaurant” food occasionally.
BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 day ago
All you are doing is punishing some poor server who has no control of the price. The owner who is actually fucking both you and the staff over is unaffected.
Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
The moment they ask for a tip they are not getting anything nor a repeat customer.

Presenting the possibility to tip on the screen is ok, I think. The tone (and from my European perspective the percentages) is, what I find weird.
octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 17 hours ago
I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.
If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.
Their bagels are good, and I’m not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn’t even present it as in OP - it’s just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.

Isn’t 10% the usual tip amount?
BlueLineBae@midwest.social 1 day ago
I’ve actually seen 2 recent practices that I hate more than this. While this is frustrating, at least you can input a custom tip. I’ve also seen them where they show 3 different dollar amounts that don’t indicate percentage but doing the math, it’s definitely way over the usual 20%. Then there’s the one I hate the most which I keep seeing at places where you don’t usually tip. You go to pay with your card and the little transaction/card machine shows different tip amounts, the default of which is already set. If you don’t want to leave a tip, you have to figure out which button to push to do so. They’re all different and it can be very confusing. I even saw one where each option was labeled in correlation with a button on the screen, except that they didn’t match up. And what do you do then? Ask the person at the register how not to tip them?
just_an_average_joe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
The issue with tipping is an issue with capitalism.
It is capitalism that has ruined nice things. Imagine the first person who tipped someone because their service was good and it was a nice thing to do. Next other people started doing it as well, which makes the profession with tipping more favorable.
This leads to a higher supply of workers and lower demand and the market adjusts which means lower pay because “they will receive tips”.
Also it is easy to vilify the shop owners for doing something that the system encourages and even demands them. We don’t know how or in what ways the shop owners are suffering because of the system.
Also to acknowledge their suffering is not to say that their suffering is equal to the suffering of their workers but rather we need to identify that everybody suffers in capitalism (except the very rich/elites).
The way to fix this is to stop tipping altogether. This will hurt the workers for sure but their suffering is necessary in order for things to change, at least under the current system.
Or alternatively, we can try and abolish the system altogether.
